How My Husband Sees Me

As I wrote about yesterday, I’m coming off a bad body image week. So when we woke up early this morning to make love, his obvious delight in looking at me touched my heart deeply.

Afterward, as I was reclining naked and he was up and looking through his closet for clothes for church, he glanced at me and commented that I reminded him of Rose in Titanic: “Draw me like one of your French girls.”

So I said, “Can you draw?” (How can I be married to this man and not even know?) “Can you draw me like one of the French girls?”

And that’s exactly what he did.

No matter how I see myself, it’s clear that my husband sees me as absolutely gorgeous. And he’s a boob man.

May I just say, you and your husband are so cute :)! I have recently become a follower of your blog and as a many years “refuser”, I am learning so much and finding myself coming out of that place and into victory! Thank you!

Ahh yes…the reclining nude. The subject of many artists. There are few things more beautiful than our lovely wives in this striking pose. There is an emotional beauty that exudes from the visual vulnerability and openness of our wives nakedness. It’s not surprising that the most prominent feature of your portrait is your smile. I’m sure it’s a reflection of not only the subject at the time, but of the artist himself.
